You said, regarding gay marriage, why should it be anyone's business? Others have explained the conservative response to this much better than I can.
Regarding the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman, these are the four main points, according to Glenn T. Stanton of Citizen Link at family.org:
1. Same-sex families always deny children either their mother or father.
2. Same-sex family is a vast, untested social experiment with children.
3. Where does it stop? How do we say "no" to group marriage?
4. Schools will be forced to teach that the homosexual family is normal. Churches will be legally pressured to perform same-sex ceremonies.Additional links for understanding the conservative viewpoint on marriage as between one man and one woman:
